Chapter 335 If you don't die, you won't die (final chapter)
Mai Xiang didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Mrs. Ji was also impatient, and said that she wanted to get married before the end of the year. Anyway, Ji Xiaolan had already agreed.

Mai Xiang naturally had no objection, Madam Ji sent the official media to her door after she returned, and Mrs. Zhao took care of the rest, because Mai Xiang had too many things in her hands.

She hasn't been home for five years, and she has to go through the accounts for these five years. Several businesses in the family are getting bigger and bigger, so she must know it well.

In the early morning of the 22nd lunar month, the Wan family sent someone to tell Mai Xiang and Huai Ci to return to the countryside with Gao Mingfu and their three children. Stay for two days, and meet some members of the Wan family by the way.

Only then did Mai Xiang know that the Wan family still had members. She always thought that the Wan family was like the Ye family, an outsider with a small population. She never thought that the population of Wan Baocai's father began to be small. Zhigao has five sons and four daughters, who are able to bend and straighten, which really impresses Mai Xiang.

When Mai Xiang's family arrived at Changhe Wan's old house, Wan Baocai and the others had already arrived ahead of time. The gate of Wan's house had been repainted, red lanterns were hung, and red couplets were pasted up. The servant came to carry the luggage, and a servant went in to report.

After a while, Kang Yi and Wan Zhigao greeted him.

"Just now the old lady sent someone to look outside, and you came here without thinking, are the children not frozen?" Kang Yi enthusiastically hugged Xiao Li'er.

"No, when did sister-in-law come?"

Kang Yi glanced at Wan Zhigao, and said: "We came early, we came two days after you came back, these are all newly made by us, the grandfather said, the second brother is the pride of the Wan family, this time to worship the ancestors, It should be more grand."

After Kang Yi finished speaking, she took Mai Xiang and walked two steps quickly, saying that it was cold outside, and she was afraid that the child would freeze.

"Second brother, I, I..." Wan Zhigao looked at Huai Ci, as if there was something embarrassing to say.

"Brother, please speak directly if you have something to say." Huaici and Wan Zhigao never got close.

"My mother has nowhere to go. I had to pick her up and send her to my hometown in the countryside. There are people here to take care of her. But just now, my father found her and wanted to drive her away. Second brother, please go and beg her." How is Dad? Dad will definitely listen to you." Wan Zhigao looked at Huaici in a low voice.

"Brother, he is your mother, not mine. It is impossible for me to intercede. As long as she doesn't mess with me, I will definitely not trouble her. Besides, this is the ancestral house of the Wan family. , it’s not my turn to make the decision.” After Huai Ci finished speaking, he caught up with Mai Xiang in front of him.

"Sister-in-law, where are you taking us?" Mai Xiang obviously felt that there was something wrong with the way Kang Yi was leading.

"Oh, the old lady said, I will change the yard for you. The yard where the second brother lives is too remote, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for the children to get in and out, so I changed you to the place where the two younger sisters lived before. From now on, it will be your yard. .”

Mai Xiang didn't expect that the Wan family finally remembered that the courtyard was not suitable for people to live in. To be honest, Mai Xiang really didn't want to accept this favor if she was not really afraid that the yin in the ancestral hall would scare the three children.

"Go and ask the elders first." Mai Xiang suggested.

"This?" Kang Yi was a little embarrassed, and looked at Wan Zhigao behind her.

"We're just here to worship our ancestors," Mai Xiang said.

After hearing this, Kang Yi had no choice but to lead everyone into the old lady's upper room. Strangely, Mai Xiang didn't see Jiang Shi.

Mai Xiang didn't see Jiang Shi until dinner time, but she did see Jiufeng also coming, holding a baby who had just turned one month old in her arms.

On the second day, Mai Xiang and Huai Ci put on their order clothes respectively, went to the room to pay their respects first, and then followed the crowd to the ancestral hall. The gate of the ancestral hall was wide open, and the inside was also newly decorated. There were already five or six beards. The gray elder sat on the high chair in the ancestral hall and waited.

Because Xiao Yu'er is a girl, she does not have the right to enter the ancestral hall. Mai Xiang told her a few words and asked Feng Ye to take her out for a walk.

After the worship was over, the men Wan Baocai and Huai Ci stayed behind to chat with the elders, while the old lady, Mai Xiang, Kang Yi, and Jiu Feng brought the children out.

Unexpectedly, when she just turned the corner, Xiao Yu'er suddenly ran out, her face pale.

"Mother, there is a bad woman over there who wants to lock me up with Sister Fengye, and Sister Fengye stopped her, so I ran out."

"What?" Mai Xiang quickly thought of Jiang's, "Be good, baby, don't be afraid, take your mother, be good, there is a mother here." Mai Xiang glanced at the five or six maids-in-law behind him, and she felt confident. .

"No need, I came here by myself. It seems that you have lived a good life these past few years, and you have even messed with the imperial order." Jiang Shi looked at Mai Xiang, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.

"Yeah, what a pity, if you were still the headed wife of the Wan family, you would also have an imperial order." Mai Xiang only found out later that this imperial order can be named mother and wife at the same time. Feng is a young step-wife. Lord Qianlong was annoyed that the Wan family's housework was too chaotic, so he only sealed Mai Xiang.

"You?" Jiang choked with anger.

"Jiang Shi, didn't you promise you to stay yesterday, what do you want to do?" the old lady asked, she couldn't stand the trouble.

"Mom, I didn't want to do anything. I just wanted to say hello to everyone. What else can I do? Your old man is in a good place now. With such a decent grandson and grandson, what can I have? My sons and grandchildren can't be upright. Don't recognize me, I'm just a poor woman who nobody wants." Jiang sneered.

"Mom, don't be like this, didn't dad already promise you to stay here?" Kang Yi stepped forward to comfort her.

"Huh? Aren't you a girl from the Ye family? Why, no one wants any of the Ye family's girls, so they have to be sent to Wan's family? Whose concubine have you become?" Jiang Shi left Kang Yi aside, just in time to see Jiufeng , it was a bit of a surprise.

Only then did Mai Xiang know that Jiang didn't know that Wan Chengyao married Jiufeng to fill in the house, and Jiang was divorced when his second wife died. She had nowhere to go, so Wan Zhigao took her away. They were sent to the old house in the countryside. Most of the people in the old house didn’t know about Wan Chengyao’s marriage. Even a few who knew did not know who the girl was. The Wan family kept it a secret. Tight, after all, Jiufeng's reputation is not very good.

And Wan Zhigao was afraid that Jiang's family would be provoked, let alone speak up, so Jiang's family was still kept in the dark about this matter.

Jiufeng is not a very smart person, and she also hates the word "little wife". Liu Shi was pissed to death because she almost became someone else's little wife, so she agreed to marry Wan Chengyao. It is because Wan Chengyao gave her the status of wife.

Therefore, when Jiufeng heard Jiang's words, his face became tense, and he said loudly: "I am not a concubine, I am the wife that Master Mingmei is marrying."

"Madam? You?" This news really came as a surprise to Jiang Shi.

"Of course, if I'm not a wife, I can enter the ancestral hall? Today is for my son's family tree." After Jiufeng finished speaking, she raised the tightly wrapped child in her hand as if showing off.

"You even gave birth to a son?" Jiang's voice trembled a little.

If Jiufeng gave birth to a son, then her child would be the grandson of Wan Baocai and the serious grandson of the Wan family. He would definitely share the property of the Wan family. Jiufeng is still so young, and it would be possible for her to have two or three children in the future. Possibly, in this way, is it fair to Wan Zhigao?
"Old lady, Zhiyuan's family has already separated and left alone. Should the property that Zhigao's family divide should also be transferred to Zhigao's name? Besides, you promised the old house and the house in the capital, including the antique furniture in the house, etc. It all belongs to Zhigao, should I honor it now?" Jiang asked.

"Don't worry, I won't lose Zhigao. Naturally, we will keep Zhigao's share. I have discussed with the old man. In the future, what we will have in our hands after a hundred years will be given to this little grandson." The old man The wife told the truth in order to win Jiang's heart and let Jiang leave with peace of mind.

The problem is that the Jiang family knows that Mai Xiang and Huai Ci took tens of thousands of taels of silver returned by the Pei family. Originally, they used the old lady and Wan Chengyao's two belongings to subsidize Wan Zhigao, but now they use bamboo baskets to fetch water. It's an empty game. In this way, Wan Zhigao will suffer a big loss.

She knew that her son was not a shrewd and calculating person, because in those years, he was devoted to cultivating the child to become a talent, and what he was taught was to study, take scientific examinations, and become an official. He was not taught these mundane tasks at all.Otherwise, he wouldn't be sent to his door to be tricked by Chang Ling.

"My old man, can I have a look?" Jiang approached Jiufeng.

Seeing that her eyes were wrong, Mai Xiang thought of what she had done to Huaici, so she hurriedly pulled Jiufeng back and stood in front of Jiufeng.

"Look, there's no need. Ma'am, let's go." Mai Xiang pulled Jiufeng and was about to go there.

Unexpectedly, Jiang suddenly pulled Maixiang madly, and shook Jiufeng vigorously. When Jiufeng leaned back, the child in his hand was thrown out, and it happened to land on the snowdrift, and the package was a little scattered. up.

When Jiufeng sat on the ground and hadn't reacted yet, Jiang's family was going to snatch the child.

Although Mai Xiang saw Jiang's plan, she held a small plow in her hand and didn't rush there at all.

Fortunately, Xiao Yuer was clever, and she lay down on the snowdrift to protect the package first, buying time for the maids.

At this time, the cry of the child woke Jiufeng up. Regardless of the pain in his body, he hurriedly picked up his son while the maids were dragging Jiang. The child's head and face were covered with snow.

A servant girl had already run to inform the men of Wan's family, so when Wan Chengyao and the others ran over, they only saw Jiufeng trembling, too frightened to cry, but the child was crying out of breath. It's like taking a breath.

"What's wrong? What happened to the child?"

"Master, master, woo woo, it's terrible..." Jiufeng finally cried while pulling Wan Chengyao's lapel.

"Let's see if the child is okay first." The old lady was so frightened that she almost didn't come up.

A servant has already run out to invite the doctor.

"Jiang Shi, you are living a good life, but why bother? There is a word for you that is best for you. If you don't die, you won't die. The more you make trouble, the faster you will die." Mai Xiang said .

"Hmph, even if I die, I will pull a back." Jiang stared at Mai Xiang viciously.

If it wasn't for Mai Xiang, she would have found a chance to kill Jiufeng's son. If Jiufeng's son was gone, no one would compete with Wan Zhigao for property.

"You're crazy, you're really crazy." Mai Xiang shook her head, taking a few steps away from her.

"I warn you, if you do anything to Mai Xiang and the children, I will return you and your son a hundredfold, and make them all buried with you." Huai Ci stepped forward to protect Mai Xiang and his children, warned.

Mai Xiang looked at Jiang's vicious eyes, then at Jiufeng, who was still in shock, and pulled her children away first. She didn't want her children to leave a shadow.

What Jiang wanted to murder was the grandson of Wan Chengyao's son, Wan Baocai, and without Mai Xiang's presence, they would not have spared her lightly.

Sure enough, that night, Mai Xiang heard that Jiang was imprisoned in Wanjia's old house, in the courtyard where Huaici used to live.Originally, Wan Chengyao wanted to kick her out, but after thinking about kicking her out, Wan Zhigao would definitely have to pay for her to buy a house and a maid to serve her. , It also saves her from going out and talking nonsense, after all, she knows too many things.

However, Jiufeng's son and Xiaoyu'er were both frightened and cold, and fell ill.

In fact, Jiufeng's son was lucky to say the least, because the child was thrown on the snowdrift at that time, at least he didn't hurt his head.

Something happened, and the Wan family was not in the mood to live in the country, and they were anxious to go back to the capital to find a good doctor.

Back in the capital, she was busy treating the two children. After all, Xiao Yuer's physique was stronger, and she was a few years older. Three days later, she started to be alive and kicking again, but Jiufeng's son really struggled for a long time.

Mr. Wan and Mrs. Wan moaned and sighed all day long, worrying about the little grandson's condition for a while, and lamenting how could the Jiang family become so vicious?Wan Zhigao was in a worse mood, he didn't dare to beg for mercy, he didn't dare to secretly send things to Jiang Shi, and he couldn't let Jiang Shi go, worrying that she would be driven crazy or killed sooner or later after being confined for such a long time, because he knew his mother was a What a strong personality.

Sure enough, on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, someone from my hometown sent a letter saying that the Jiang family was really crazy. Wan Zhigao didn't care about what he heard, and immediately drove the carriage back to the countryside.

As a result, no one in the Wan family is in the mood to celebrate the New Year.

However, compared to the depression of the Wan family, Mai Xiang still has some good news. First, Mai Lu and Ji Xiaolan's son Ru Ji have already engaged, and the wedding date is set on the sixth day of March; Cao Xueqin was already 51 years old in [-], and the famous acne rash in history did not break out. The novel "Dream of Red Mansions" was republished, and even the Sanwei Bookstore became popular all over the country. Naturally, Mai Xiang made a lot of money The third is that Yongqi's illness was found, and it was said to be gangrene. Fortunately, it was the first offense and it was under control.

As for his fate in the future, it is beyond Mai Xiang's control. At least, she gave him a chance and gave the Qing Dynasty a chance to change history.

A month later, Mai Xiang stood at the gate of the Yangzhou government office, looked up at the big characters on the government office, and did not move for a long time.

"Daughter-in-law, what are you thinking?" Huai Ci asked while hugging his wife.

"I didn't think about anything. I wondered where we would be in the next five years? I wondered how many meaningful things I did when I came to this world. Did I feel worthy of the title of time-traveling woman?"

"What is a time-traveling girl?"

"A time-traveling girl is a girl from time-traveling."

"What is a time-traveling girl?"

"Girls who come from time-traveling are time-traveling women."

"Father, are you talking about tongue twisters with your mother?"

Mai Xiang smiled when she heard this.
